Addicted too


Nobody can stop the man! He got what he has been wanting since November when it was first released. At last, he can die in any minute with a smile on his face :-) Just kidding! I am talking about the XBOX 360. Yeppers! JJ is unstoppable! I did my best to stop him, but...oh well! He paid $50 just to be on the lists of priority customers who can get the XBOX 360 when its available and it came last friday night. Man, the man was so excited! Grinning ear to ear! He went to exchanged his old XBOX and few games. I was furious deep inside for I know he'd be paying more or less $500 for this new guy and I am skeptical if he will spend time playing it or he'd still prefer the online computer game. His old XBOX still looks very new. Will see.

Microsoft did a great job with this new XBOX 360 and whats sweet about it, is the controller is wireless. That mean's I won't end up fixing his stuff when he's done playing unlike before! Aside from the gaming experience, XBOX 360 enables us to watch DVD movies, play music CD's, connect an MP3 player and listen to music, connect a digital camera and view pictures, listen to music and view digital pictures from your Windows XP-based PC.

Anyway, I played with him on some of his games and I was addicted to this game called Hexic.It's basically just a puzzle hit from Alexey Pajitnov, the original creator of Tetris®. The deal is to rotate groups of three hexes to form clusters of like-colored tiles. Use bonus pieces and starflowers to boost your score and discover new ways to play, very simple! But watch out for bombs—clear them before they explode or it's game over. It is very addicting and so far, I've only achieved 3 out of 12:
Flower Child: Star flower


Star Gazer: Bunos-star cluster


Cluster Buster: 25 total combos


I am very excited about this game. Like JJ said, its a good chance to exercise the brain :-)

this xbox thing reminded me of my stepson. he bought his really expensive and can't wait to show it to his dad. so when he finally came over and show it to us, hubby made a joke na baka wala na siyang time sa girlfriend niya kasi he just keep playing and playing even when she's around. his girlfriend can only smile. LOL!

cool stuff! but i love playing online games better, it's easier and it's free. ;)
